£35million is the price that Spurs and Arsenal are targeting as Wilfs much acclaimed new 5 year contract that Parish was so proud of apparently contained a 35m release fee that kicks in march 2018.So it is not really a 5 year contract at all - more spin from Parish?.

So how come you know this? Put up or shut up.

They must have stuck in a min release clause in his new contract. It can’t be less than £50m surely.
This will be his last season with us so it’s all about maximising what we get. Walcott, Wilshere, Iwobi (loan) plus £40m seems fair.

I think you’re being unrealistic about football contracts at this level.

Firstly, how do you know the exact details of Wilf’s contract?

And secondly, maybe he wouldn’t sign it without such a release clause and this was the best compromise that the club could reach with him. Doesn’t make Parish a liar, as we all know football contracts aren’t handcuffs and that a player will leave within the contract period if he really wants to.

But signing a longer contract did at least ensure that Palace would receive a good fee for him should he leave.

If the release is £35m, so what. That’s the minimum price and it doesn’t prevent other clubs from outbidding each other for him if they want him.

It really doesn’t matter....when/if Wilf decides he wants to leave, he will.

And if we are relegated, the club will probably sadly have to sell him anyway because his salary is not sustainable on the Championship income.

Even if its not formally written into the contract I'd be fairly certain that something similar would have been promised verbally - SP seems a decent person. I doubt we could have put a higher price than £35 and Wilf still agreed to it.

Wilf gets sheer disrespect from most opposition fans. Look at Arsenal fans reaction on social media. He's so much better than what people who see him on motd for 2 mins every Saturday night think.

He's so much better than what people think. When we went up I really thought id see some dazzling displays from opposition week in week out. Wilf shows teams up week in week out, he's a star and deserves his shot at the highest level. It's just going to take a whopping fee.
